Granted Planning Permission

We are excited to have been granted planning permission to adapt our offering here at York Marina. Throughout the pandemic we have had to adapt our offering of catering and facilities and are excited to be able to put this project together with the  well ventilated indoor / outdoor dining.  Moving from temporary canopies that we have been using to a permanent environment where you can see the best of the river all year round.

Alongside the new restaurant, we will be investing in internal alterations to the existing building adjacent to the restaurant, installing a second kitchen, and bar, with cold store.

“We do not want to detract from the river scenescape and have decided a high spec slim frame aluminium and glass ‘Winter Garden’ restaurant, would be ideal for what the business needs to take it forwards and meet the needs of our customers.”

Superb Winter Garden

This Winter Garden is of the highest specification, including thermal efficiency, would be unobtrusive with it being fully glazed and the design is superb. The river front would be landscaped with steps to a lower patio area to complete the project.

Amazing View

This facility will also provide a level access for disabled guests and make the running of the outside dining area much more efficient from a service point of view, as well as providing an amazing view of the river, wildfowl, and surrounding countryside.

The Press

“We sampled the festive set menu yesterday with my parents and all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Really good food - including several gluten free options available which were much appreciated by one of the party - and friendly attentive service from the young waiting staff.
Very reasonably priced too! Thank you for a lovely start to our festive season.”

Fabulous festive lunch

“A beautiful cafe in a stunning location next to the river Ouse. Sunday lunch was excellent but the food is always good whether it is breakfast, lunch or just a coffee and cake. We received a very warm welcome, and all the young staff were super friendly and efficient, a great team. Delicious Sunday lunch and very good value. Looking forward to our next visit.”

Great Sunday lunch

“Lovely meal, nice surroundings and excellent food. We were staying at York Marina and booked a table for my wife’s birthday. We selected the fish sharing platter for two and it was great, beautifully prepared and we really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the food and drinks came without delay and in good time. Overall highly recommended.”

Excellent food and a lovely place, highly recommended
